About 40 minutes from downtown on bus 10 or 11. Go early in the morning to stay ahead of the school trip groups. The main hall (Daeungjeon) is due to be taken apart and repaired for about two years from late 2026, and as of October 2026 it hadn't been decided how much of it you can see during the work.

Hours
The official site lists 09:00 to 17:00 from November to January, and other listings say it opens at 07:30. Check before you go.
